I agree, I think there should be a snow mode too that will let you keep high to 45-50mph and the highest up to 35 mph.
hmm I like this idea.

according to the email on the last page, the next step up is only .3 inches higher. You'll probably be fine in just high to 20mph

Totally agree.Well every centimeter counts. 33mm above standard versus 23mm is 43% more. I will just have to go slow.

Totally agree.
one of the main reasons for my Smart Air suspension
This is the message I got from the Tesla service advisor, to my query, regarding Smart Air Suspension

Subject: Air SuspensionAlso note that the steel spring suspension is the same height as the standard mode of the air suspension
Very High
High
- Can be selected at speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h).
- Sets suspension at 1.3 inches (33 mm) higher than Standard.
- Used to gain extra ground clearance in unusual situations.
- If selected and vehicle speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h), the vehicle automatically
- lowers to High.
Standard
- Can be selected at speeds below 19 mph (32 km/h).
- Sets suspension 1 inch (23 mm) higher than Standard.
- Used to gain extra ground clearance in parking lots, parking garage ramps, large
- speed bumps, etc.
- If selected and vehicle speed exceeds 19 mph, the vehicle automatically lowers to
Low
- The vehicle automatically levels to the Standard ride height to ensure optimum
- comfort and handling under all loading conditions (extra passengers, heavy
- luggage, etc.).
- This also ensures that the vehicle has the proper ride height under all loading
- conditions (the rear of the car does not sag down when heavily loaded).
- Automatically lowers the vehicle by 0.75 inch (20 mm) for improved aerodynamics.
- Lowering starts when vehicle speed is between 60 mph (90 km/h) and 72 mph (115
- km/h) for more than 30 seconds. When speed increases above 72 mph (115 kph),
- the vehicle immediately goes to Low level.
- Can be selected from the touchscreen when parked, for easier loading/unloading
- of passengers and cargo.
- If selected when stopped, the vehicle automatically rises to Standard when driven
- at a speed above 3 mph (6 km/h).
Is it possible that they got 100mph confused with 100Kmph in the rollout of 5.8? The numbers seem to match......
62 mph is the normal trigger to lower which is 100 kmph. Now after 5.8 the lower trigger is 100 mph. They just got their units messed up! Silly error, but after thinking about no notification, etc. This makes perfect sense.
AND the potholes at the end of the winter:wink:Strange that for our friends at the west coast this does not seem to be much of an issue. :wink:
I've spent plenty of winters in Minnesota, and I actually prefer it in a lot of ways...Strange that for our friends at the west coast this does not seem to be much of an issue. :wink:
I just figured out what you meant - that it was an accidental change due to the wrong units being used. Anybody care to test it at 100mph? I wonder what happens if you change the units to KM (under the settings menu) and then drive over 100kph?
Anything is possible, but if you're right someone is scrambling like crazy over at Fremont right now......
Tested and verified. It changed height at over 100 mph. No tickets please!!

No change if you change units on the display. It's a software SNAFU! I;m surprised that support reported this as normal and intended behavior which threw me.
Still doesn't explain someone calling Tesla and being told that it was disabled...??
Any idea why they pushed this release so quickly?
I need it restored in a matter of weeks, not months. I have a long trip coming up (265mi each way door to door, no superchargers) that I will now have to take an ICE car because I won't be able to make it with the reduced range caused by driving in the standard height instead of low height. So this change is going to force me NOT to drive the Tesla. Not cool. Very upset.
